Sue--Is there a good listserv to post this question to? =A0I recently read
Carlota by S. O'Dell, which in a foreward, he says is based in part on the
life of Luisa Montero, who lived in southern California, near Mt Roubidoux,
in the early 1800's, who may have been present at the Battle of San Pasqual=
.
I did a search in the Los Angeles Public Library Catalog, etc. =A0But have
found no info on Luisa Montero and family. =A0I would think there would be
some info somewhere. =A0I'm thinking a librarian, particularly a children's o=
r
school librarian in S. California may know of this story. =A0Unfortunately,
O'Dell is no longer with us, & I can't determine where he found his info.
=A0Info on the Battle of San Pasqual, he notes, are from the memoirs of Kit
Carson & =A0a Lt. Emory, topographer with Gen. Kearny's Army of the West.
It's also surprising that there is so little literature based on the early
californios & vaqueros.
Have a great weekend,
Nina =A0=20
